I Feel a Feeling Never Felt
7:48 PM
With apologies to Emily Dickinson.
I Feel a Feeling Never Felt
I feel a feeling never felt -From any wayward Muse -
Not all the Lovers in the world
Could furnish such a bruise!
Inebriate of crookedness -
Through endless, wintry days -
Alarming honest citizens -
My purple stain ablaze -
When anger turns another's fists
And throws me out of doors -
I shall maintain my righteousness -
I shall but feel the more!
Till I am here to say no more -
Of Dignity and Truth -
Come, see the Poet take a punch
A privilege of - Youth!
